JIS bottom bracket

I've bought a new rear wheel and the chainline is different to my existing one , 45mm instead of 42mm. The OCD in me needs to correct this so looking at a longer bottom bracket. 113mm instead 107 should give it the extra 3mm it needs. My budget doesn't quite stretch to a Phil Woods unfortunately though. What do people normally go for? Just stick with a shimano un55? I was looking at this FSA one http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/mobile/fsa-power-pro-jis-bottom-bracket-68-mm-shell-english-thread-prod25307/ anyone got any experience with it or suggestions for alternatives?

The UN 55 lasts 10 times the non Shimano ones if you use it in the wet

Cool, just ordered one of them, the one I've got on my beater has been great like you say.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
